Borden Grammar School News

We have received a letter from the School, appealing for your  help.   The School is holding a Careers and Universities Fair in September and is asking Old Bordenians to contribute insights – and inspiration – into their own careers, industries and organisations, for current Borden students.   Please respond if you can. And if you can’t be there in person, could you provide a pre-recorded message to be played, or connections with industry sources to embellish the Careers Fair ?

The New Building is taking shape above ground, where a white skeleton has arisen to rival anything the Natural History Museum can display !

The extension project has become a reality, with visible groundworks – it looks like a proper building site should.

We have reported previously on the plans to expand the School through the building of a new extension. 

Thanks to Dave Palmer we can report that current School pupils are demonstrating great spirit and charity in responding to the War in Ukraine.

The objectives of our Association include assiting the School.  We have worked to contribute to support Pupils' wellbeing and amenity and the fabric of the School.  The Staff who work in the School are equally part of that equation.  After two calendar years of working under the shadow of the pandemic, the Association thought we should offer a small, but fun thank you to the Staff. 

One of our Association objectives is to support the School in financial and practical ways.  We already fund the School Minibus and we have engaged the Head to suggest other projects we could assist with. One such project has now been identified.

The fabric of the School has changed many times in its history. From the 'original' School site on College Road (Old School Building - Heritage Video (bordengrammar.kent.sch.uk) to The Bryan Short block in 1998, it has morphed into the institution of today. 

After several months of closure and the summer break, the School is preparing for a new School year which will be like no other.
